I filled up my vehicle gas tank on [XXX] and immediately after pulling out of the gas station the engine symbol appeared on the instrument panel. On 5/23/24, I took my 2017 Mercedes Benz S550 4matic to Mercedes-Benz of Alexandria, Alexandria, VA for service. After three hours of waiting the service tech, Chantell Kirby [XXX], informed me that I needed a fuel pump and tank and the cost would be $6,184.94. Please understand that my vehicle has less than 68,000 miles on it. The fuel tank you a major component of this very expensive vehicle. I have contacted Mercedes Benz corporate at 1-800-367-6372, but have not received a decision if they are going to repair my vehicle at little or no cost. I'm filing this complaint in hopes of getting assistance with the repair of my vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
